TO PEARY'S ARCTIC SHIP.
Go stalwart ship, go boldly forth,
To pluck the secrets of the frozen North;
With thy good crew, straight onward go
Through storm and cold, past berg and floe,
with prow turned ever to the Pole
Bear thy brave master to his goal.
And through the long and lonely night,
When men grow sick for want of light,
And silent stars shed feeble glow
O' er endless wastes of drifting snow,
Be one bright spot to welcome back
The weary wanderers from their icy track.
And when at last thy Captain bold,
In spite of storms and deadly cold,
O' er walls of ice and crashing floes,
'Gainst howling winds and blinding snows
All overcome, his wish attained,
The contest o'er and victory gained,
Shall turn his tired steps to thee
Doubly triumphant let thy welcome be,
And breaking from the Frost King's charms,
Who long hath held thee in his arms,
And turning South through ice and foam,
Bear him to life and love and home.
John Saw
